If you are producing a unique material, you or an experienced reactive materials testing company will need to do your own material assessments. This may include testing for water reactivity, shock sensitivity, dust explosivity, and thermal stability in actual storage and handling configurations, as well as finding out all of the items in the list above.

Guidelines for Safe Storage and Handling of Reactive Materials (CCPS, 1995) provides essential information to assist in materials assessment and analysis as well as general and specific design considerations for storage and handling of reactive materials and the appropriate fire protection. 

As for any new lot of material, assessments of biological activity should be performed to demonstrate the efficacy of the product. This may be achieved though the use of animal-based biological assays, cell-based assays that evaluate the material at the cellular level, and biochemical activity assays such as enzymatic action. Standards should be properly defined. Potency and efficacy for individual lots of material can therefore be defined.

This section provides an introductory overview of some of the concepts and ideas that underlie the development of sustainable design approaches. This overview is followed by a discussion of cradle-to-cradle design, a lifecycle-based approach to material assessment and product design, and a brief discourse on the emerging principles of sustainable engineering. These correspond to some of the emerging...

Assessment of analytical characteristics should use test or reference materials that are similar to the intended patient specimen and are carried through the entire process. If possible, precision studies should be performed with more than one lot or batch of reagents and/or materials. Assessment of the accuracy of molecular methods is challenging when, as often happens, the methods have lower detection limits than the established methods.A well-characterized reference material can be used for accuracy studies.
